1mth of Confinement

Mummy has been eating repeatative meals via same cooking method almst day in & day out during this whole month. Chinese believe that you shld be eating certain type of fish, herbs, etc to strengthen the body. Am getting sick of the food !!! so glad that the days are over.

Breakfast : Mee Sua with Ikan Billis soup base / Bread & Milk / Half Boil Egg & Milk. Chicken Essence is a must go with the above

Lunch & Dinner : Papaya Fish Soup & Fish (i was only given 2 kind of fish - "ang kao" or "gor hee")

Supper : Black Chicken Soup (either with chinese herbs or wine)

Drink : i have not drank a sip of plain water for 1 whole month !! This part was easy for me becoz i have never like plain water :P So did i go without any liquid for the whole mth ? of coz not.. i was given red dates drink. (red & blue dates, dried longgan & some herbs).

One thing i did not follow strictly was that i bath once in every 2 days.. The confinement aunty will boil 2 pots of water with 2 packets of "qu fen chao" & ginger for me to mix with hot water.. for mummy bathing needs.

Mummy route for the whole mth was.. Cowing, Breakfast, Rest, Cowing, Lunch, Rest, Cowing, Rest Cowing, Dinner, Rest, Cowing, Sleep. Someone please save me..... HELP !!! haha

Lets do some gossiping... Confinement aunty was almst perfect during the first few days, daddy & mummy were very happy thinking that life would be a bliss for the rest of the month.. But soon, our nightmare began.. she is stuborn.. daddy asked her not to carry you to make milk but she continue to ignore daddy saying that she is very experienced ! she better not hurt you accidentally else daddy will sue her :P she is acting like she is the boss of the house, move things around the house without asking, open new detergent , milk powder etc without informing us that existing stock has been finished so that we are aware & to replace it, keep asking daddy where is daddy going when daddy leaves the house or is home late... DAMN KPO... & many other small small issues..

Of coz she is not that bad or daddy would have sent her home.. she is quite discipline & is gd at time management.

We are so glad that she is finally going back.. can u imagine we are paying her $$ & yet we cant wait for her to leave our home.. haha.. so ironic right =D

To a New Beginning

Mummy accepted Christ on 27th Oct 1996 (if i rem the date correctly). Darling is born on 26th Oct 2006. You are like a God's gift to us & we thank God for your safe arrival.

On the course to try for a baby, Mummy found out that i have endometriosis, cysts & fibriod and went for laproscopy hysterectomy in 2004.

Prior to conceiving you, Mummy was found to be pregnant in Aug 2005. However, it turn out to be an ectopic pregnancy & i went for another laparoscopy hysterectomy in 2005.

By God's Grace, Mummy managed to conceive you in Jan 2006 & your due to arrive in early Nov 2006. However, you decided to pop on 26th Oct 2006. It's like you are here to mark a new beginning for Mummy life & yours !!

During the day, visitors came & go from the hospital. Mummy is very happy & its like i am in a dream... reality strike me only when nurses bring darling to me for breast feeding during mid night (27th Oct 2006 - 10 year anniversary of me accepting Christ). I have a baby !! I am a mother !! I have loads of responsibility lying ahead of me !! It really feel different, no words can explain how i feel then. People may feel that it's just pure coincidence but i truly believe that your a present from God ! Thank you Lord.

Daddy & Mummy has decided not to give you a christian name. We will let you decide for yourself if christianity is the religion for you.

Welcome to the Goh Family !!!

1st Day at Home !!

We were so glad your jundice has came down to 8.3 & Dr Tan gave his approval for your discharge from the hospital. We were suppose to be discharged by 12pm but the hospital took such a long time to process the payment & by the time we left the hospital was ard 1pm.

We had lunch at nainai's home. Mummy also tried feeding you but think the milk flow was not in yet (u lost abt 400g++ since you say hello to this world), really make our heart ache to see you so small & fragile.

It is really amazing that newborn have "storage" & can go without food for the 1st 3days. I guess that is why you can sleep for ages (sleeping beauty) before you will cry for milk.

One the way home, Daddy went to Popo's home to lead her to our place as Popo does not know her way. By the time we are home, it was around 3.30pm !! Yeezhang Clement also brought yeeyee Joyce & Isabelle to see you & help Daddy and Mummy to settle down. Oh ya, Uncle Alan & Aunty Zoey together with Aunty Josephine & Jernice also visited you at home. Aunty Zoey will deliver lulu (their daughter) in February next year.. it would soon be our turn to visit them !!
